I've bought the game, I've opened steam in offline mode, I've clearly selected single player in the game, and it refuses to start with a bad excuse for an error message about some arbitrary steam verification. Oh thank you, just throwing me back to the main menu without a decent explanation certainly helps solve the problem! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

Well, I'm tired of being treated like ♥♥♥♥ by certain game developers, so f the game and the developers I guess, since they insist on showing their middle fingers to me whenever I want to actually play any of their games without an internet connection. It's more enjoyable to clean my home than to deal with this sad excuse of an offline mode. ...Assuming that's the problem, which they of course can't be bothered to say.
